• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the genus "Parageobacillus" Aliyu et al. 2016. Publication: Aliyu H, Lebre P, Blom J, Cowan D, De Maayer P. Phylogenomic re-assessment of the thermophilic genus Geobacillus. Syst Appl Microbiol 2016; 39:527-533. 🇿🇦
  • 😢 The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. The expression "monophyletic clade" is a pleonasm. The phrase "validly described" is misleading. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria? In: Bridge P, Smith D, Stackebrandt E (eds), Trends in the systematics of bacteria and fungi, CAB International, Wallingford, 2021, p. 255-281. 🇬🇧
